Report: Head of LIV Golf Yasir Al-Rumayyan is stepping down as league’s future in doubt

This strategic evolution includes the appointment of a newly established independent board led by Gene Davis and Jon Zinman. The pair have track records working for global organisations, as they hope to guide the league through its next phase.

Mr. Davis and Mr. Zinman, working in lockstep with management, are focused on institutionalising the league and evaluating the range of strategic opportunities that have emerged with the league’s rise. 

“LIV Golf has built something truly differentiated – a global league with passionate fans, world-class talent, and demonstrated commercial momentum,” said Gene Davis, Chairman of the Independent Directors Committee. “The executive leadership team, along with Jon and I, see a clear opportunity to help the league formalise its structure, attract and secure long-term capital, and position the business for growth while continuing to promote the game across the world. We look forward to positioning LIV Golf for future success.”

LIV Golf released a statement claiming that the 2026 season has produced record-breaking engagement and a 100% increase in revenue year over year.
